100% Sicilian Best Quality RED WINE. See description below.
The 250 hectares of vines grown to produce the range of Patria Torrepalino wines are spread across the entire length and breadth of Sicily and must cope with variations in landscape and climatic conditions. Land management, care and attention, love and respect for the land and traditional production methods marry perfectly with new technologies. The wine growing and producing part of the estate has always been the largest producer of Etna DOC wine and its most prized products have always been the Nerello Mascalese, Cappuccio and Mantellato wines. These three sons of Etna have noble blood and a fiery temperament. The wine cellar terrace is a strategic observation point, affording views as far as the eye can see over the vines below, producing Grapes for Etna DOC, red, rosé and white varieties.
The story of Torrepalino and its Slavonia oak barrel, is linked to that of the Aragonese watch tower that sprang up to defend the region. At the top of the construction, stronghold of the surveillance and control system for the entire Alcantara valley, there was a direction indicator that provided orientation for processions of travellers and wayfarers. On one side is the commercial port of Riposto; and on the other that of Milazzo. Both ports are leading players in Sicilian commercial wine industry transport and the movement of people and goods. (Decide whether to include the following text). Our stock of barrels has a total capacity of 8,500 hl, with various types of winery containers. We use traditional Italian methods for wine refinement, with 110 to 130 hl truncated cone-shaped vats, and 25 to 70 hl barrels, together with special oaken casks known as Barriques to allow for differentiation and the right balance between these different refinement methods.
Steel tanks make up around 83% of the wine production site’s tank capacity of 30,000 hectolitres. This is split into 5,000 for wine-making machines, 22,000 hectolitres of storage capacity, 3,000 for insulated containers and 300 pressure tanks for sparkling wines. The wine-making department boasts state-of-the-art fermenting machines with hot and cold temperature controls, automatic must pumping with sprinklers and blades for grape marc extraction. The manufacturing area and warehouse feature tanks of varying sizes, each with temperature control mechanisms and insulated tanks used for the tartaric stabilisation of all wine types.
The wine production site is equipped with a high-tech bottling line. This isobaric plant has an hourly output of 6,000 bottles. The plant is subject to many control mechanisms, to ensure quality and consumer safety. These mechanisms range from the very simple: the presence of a cork, capsule, correct labelling, the level of wine in each bottle and box weighing machines, to the more technical: automatic cleaning equipment tests and rinsing and checks on the functioning and operability of automatic microfiltration equipment, for guaranteed microbiological sanitation.
